La Figlia che Piange

T.S.Eliot

O quam te memorem virgo ...

    Stand on the highest pavement of the stair— 

    Lean on a garden urn— 

    Weave, weave the sunlight in your hair— 

    Clasp your flowers to you with a pained surprise— 

    Fling them to the ground and turn 

    With a fugitive resentment in your eyes: 

    But weave, weave the sunlight in your hair. 

    

    So I would have had him leave, 

    So I would have had her stand and grieve, 

    So he would have left 

    As the soul leaves the body torn and bruised, 

    As the mind deserts the body it has used. 

    I should find 

    Some way incomparably light and deft, 

    Some way we both should understand, 

    Simple and faithless as a smile and shake of the hand. 

    

    She turned away, but with the autumn weather 

    Compelled my imagination many days, 

    Many days and many hours: 

    Her hair over her arms and her arms full of flowers. 

    And I wonder how they should have been together! 

    I should have lost a gesture and a pose. 

    Sometimes these cogitations still amaze 

    The troubled midnight and the noon’s repose. 

 Prufrock and Other Observations (1917)

This is undoubtedly an astonishing piece. Every element is at an optimal focus level, allowing each one to blend with each other, creating a beautiful work of art.

I do have to say, I absolutely love the fact that the foreground is more focused than the background. This is a type of element that I take into account when looking at many photos. I believe that it can greatly increase the quality of the work.

I also realized that you paid attention to two colors that are not only secondary but cool as well! (Cool as in green, blue, purple, "not warm") Blending colors like these together can fill gaps in overall composition and form a realistic message.

Overall, this is stunning. Keep it up with the great art!

Everything about this works perfectly for me. The soft background of darks and lights creats a pleasing contrast which brings out the the crisp, sharp focus of the subject. The splash of yellow at the center brings my eyes into the flower. The petals appear to be very delicate. The exposure and focus is spot on. The composition is very pleasing. The colors are vibrant, yet kept to a minimum. I love that there are only three main colors in the image. The contrast of purple and yellow works very well. cropping a bit tighter on the left side may be good as long asit doesn't effect the other sides.
